Help! Album not adding to itunes when I try to import it!

I have this Album from Asian Kung-Fu Generation called 'World World World'. I imported it to my music library, everything was successful. Put it on my new Ipod 16Gb, everything was fine. Then I went to 'Artists' on my Ipod and discovered that the artist was labeled ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION and I had a separate Asian Kung-Fu Generation section.
I've had this problem many times before, and I knew how to fix it. I went back to Itunes and deleted the album out of the list. Then I manually went into the folder, right clicked each file in the album, clicked properties, switched to the 'summary' tab, and manually edited the author back to Asian Kung-Fu Generation. Now, with other CD's that this happened with, when I did that, I just imported it back to Itunes and everything worked as expected.
But here's what happened when I tried it with this particular CD - when I tried to import it after doing all this, nothing happens. It's nowhere to be found in my itunes. It's like what happens when I try to import a filetype that isn't compatible with Itunes. I turned off my PC, when I woke up this morning I rebooted and tried it again. This time, it "processed" but was still nowhere to be found in my library.
Any help please???

First, try using a Smart playlist as a method of searching your iTunes to be sure it didn't get put somewhere it doesn't belong.
File > New Smart Playlist
Album containts (type in the album name in the text box)
Click OK
Look for the newly created Smart playlist in the playlist section off to the right. Do you see the songs in it? If so, select all of the tracks (Edit > Select All) and choose Get Info (File > Get Info). Say "yes" to edit multiple track information, and edit the artist and album name to make sure they're all the same.
If this doesn't find them for you, I'd go to your music folder location:
C:\ ... My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\
See if you can find any remnants of the files. If they are in there, try to add them into iTunes by going back to iTunes and clicking File > Add Folder to Library.
If there are no files in there, I'd suggest recreating the iTunes library and then trying to import the CD again.
Recreate the library:

Photos does not recognize my camera when I try to import

When I try to import I keep getting an "error -9937". Tried using image capture as a possible solution but it also doesn't recognize my camera. Went back to iPhoto and now it no longer recognizes my camera. It worked perfectly fine until this recent update. Any ideas? I don't want to use the Cloud.

I have seen quite a few similar questions, but none was solved:
com.apple.imagecapturecore error 9937
AFTER UPDATING UPDATE OS X 10.10.3 IMAC NO LONGER RECOGNIZES JPG AND CANNOT DOWNLOAD FROM CAMERA
And all were for Canon cameras. Is your camera also a Canon Powershot? If that is the case contact Canon for help.
As a work-around: Try to read the photos from a card reader and not directly from the camera. It is less bother and you avoid problems, if the batteries in the camera are low.

Gracenote no longer works on my iTunes when I try to import an audio cd.

When I try to import a cd to iTunes, it shows a "Audio CD" even if I am online. No more Gracenotes titles. All tracks come up as "Track 01", Track 02", etc. I now have to manually type in all track titles. Any clues? Thanks.

Yes, Limnos, I've check-marked 'get track names when inserting a CD' in Preferences, and I'm loading common, popular cds. Interestingly, gracenotes worked fine on OS 10.4.11 until I upgraded my iMac to 10.6.7.

Saving file with max compatibility in Photoshop is not recognized by Muse when I try to import

I had "save with maximum compatibility" set to "always" in the Photoshop preferences and Muse would not recognize this and not import the PSD file. So I set "save with maximum compatibility" to "ask" and did a "save as" in order to force Photoshop to save it with "max compatibility." I verified that the "max compatibility" box was checked. Tried to import, or Place, the PSD file in Muse: no go. What's wrong here?

Thanks, Jeff, for continuing to follow up on this. I did indeed use the PSD as 8-bit RGB (which came from a website template I bought some years ago). My workaround has been to make a PNG version of the PSD. Muse accepts the PNG file. But I'd really like to know why the PSD fails to import. It's a mystery right now. I downloaded a sample Muse project last week that was part of a video tutorial. Importing the PSDs from that sample project was no problem.

Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

See if any of the following fix it.
Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

New photo albums not appearing in iTunes

I upgraded to IOS6. Now when I create a new photo album in iPhoto it does not appear in iTunes when I sync my iPad. I am now no longer able to add photo albums to my iPad. I do not want to use the cloud to manage my photos. Anyone else encounter this problem?

Indeed, following the instructions from this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1614078&tstart=60
first led to iTunes finally clearing its cached information, but it still would not adop the new Contacts. They would only appear after following the instructions from the other thread mentioned above:

Thanks for posting these solutions.

I receive the error "this apple id is valid but not an icloud account" when I try to open icloud on my pc. Help.

I receive the error "this apple id is valid but not an icloud account" when I try to open icloud on my pc. Help.

Music purchased from the iTunes Store is automatically available in iCloud. This is "iTunes in the Cloud" and does not require an iCloud account. The music is stored in the iTunes Store, not in a personal iCloud account.
If you don't have any Apple devices you will not be able to create an account. It wouldn't be any value to you anyway as it syncs data on you computer with your Apple devices. If you don't have any, there is nothing to sync.

My iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

my iphone 4 is not recognized by itunes when i connect to it and tells me that the phone is in recovery mode, wants me to restore to factory settings. after i agree , an alert with error 9 stopped the sync. the phone wont start

Thanks for the response. There is no cloud icon next to them. All of the songs play on the phone still and no song was purchased through iTunes. I added them manually and tried to remove them manually. According to my iTunes they've been removed but they are still on my phone and working.

When I try to import songs from a CD into iTunes it can't find the titles online. This wasn't a problem previously, now it is. There is nothing wrong with my internet. Any solutions? Help says try again later but no luck there.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

HELP!

It's been a while but it should work on a Mac because Macs can read Windows formatted devices. Otherwise, you can perform a restore operation to return it to the Mac format. If you go to support.apple.com/manuals/ you can find a copy of the user manual for the model you have in which this is all explained.

Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

Plz someone help I made custom ringtones and when I try to put them in my iPhone 4 it hey appear gray on iTunes and won't go on my phone and I tried syncing it don't help what do I do???!!!

The ringtone file format is m4r. You can create ringtone from any of your music file in your iTunes Music library.
Follow steps as follow:
1. Right mouse click the song in music library you want to create ringtone and choose “Get Info”
2. Choose “Option” Tab, Check “Start Time” n Stop Time” of the track you want to make into ringtone and put in your start time and end time (Max 40 secs duration), then click OK
3. Right mouse click the music file again and choose “Create AAC Version”
4. You will see a copy of song with same name appeared but with 40sec duration only. Now drag the song onto your desktop and you will see the name is now xxxxxx.m4a.
5. Change the file extension m4a into m4r from the desktop
6. Delete the 40sec m4a file from the music library (You must do this step or Itune will not accept your new m4r file).
7. *Important - Now uncheck the start n stop time of the original song so that you can play back full length.
8. Now, drag the m4r file from desktop to Library
9. Click onto the Tones under Library, and you find you ringone file.
Note: Just in case you cannot "Create AAC version" from Step 3, go to top menu, click "Edit", "Preference". Under "general" Tab, click "Import Settings", make sure under Import Using that "AAC Encoder" is selected.
Once you have ringtones in Tones library, you can sync ringtones over by connecting your phone to PC, select iPhone under Devices on iTunes left Pane, then go to 'Tones' tab and check SYNC TONES as well as the ringtones. Click the SYNC button on the lower right window.

I have downloaded latest itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync. Any suggestions?

I have just gotten my new ipad!!! I downloaded latest version of itunes but my ipad does not show in devices when I try to sync music. Any suggestions??

Does a little box come up seeing the iPad as a camera? That doesn't impact iTunes as much as it confirms that your computer sees the device. If your computer doesn't see it then iTunes doesn't know it's there.
If you're plugged into a hub or extender, try plugging it directly into the box or main part of your computer.
If you're using an extension, stop and just use the included sync cable.
Try using a different USB port.
After you installed iTunes, did you restart your computer?
Usually what's needed is the 'apple device driver' which installs automatically, you just need to sometimes trigger the install, using different ports helps with that.
If the simple trouble shooting doesn't help then you can search on the Apple Device Driver and there's more detailed trouble shooting on the site.
